Foreword
Ethanol is used globally as part of a fuel blends alongside fossil petroleum or as pure ethanol in specially modified vehicles. This ethanol is usually made using fermentation of plant sugars such as those present in food crops or waste food. It is also possible to produce ethanol via fermentation of plant residues (cellulosic ethanol) if the sugars present in cellulosic materials can be unlocked, although there are technical and sustainability challenges to achieving this efficiently. As cellulosic ethanol approaches commercial scale deployment alongside other sources of ethanol available at large scale, attention has transferred from using ethanol as part of a fuel blend towards using it to produce fuels for hard to decarbonize sectors such as aviation fuel or at smaller scales providing fuel for vehicles for which it is not feasible to convert to the use of biofuel blends such as classic cars.
